“…While the (d, p) reaction seemed to have little or no strength above 11 MeV, multi-particle transfer reactions populated states up to 20 MeV or more in 15 N. The present work uses the higher energy deuteron bombarding energy of 16 MeV to explore this higher energy excitation region with the 14 N(d, p) reaction. Figure 1 is a comparison of spectra from the present 14 N(d, p) 15 N work and that from previously measured spectra for 12 C( 7 Li, α) 15 N [9]. Note the presence of strong isolated peaks in ( 7 Li, α) around 12, 13, and 15 MeV in excitation that are absent in the single neutron transfer spectrum.…”
